Product Description:
The MC1K-U015D motion controller belongs to the K SANMOTION Motion Controllers series from Sanyo Denki. It coordinates a single servo or stepper drive by issuing position, velocity, and torque commands, allowing automated equipment to reach commanded coordinates without manual intervention. Integration with a DeviceNet fieldbus places advanced positioning functions directly at the machine level and reduces the processing load on the PLC. This arrangement supports distributed motion control in production machinery that requires repeatable movement and centralized network communication.
This unit governs 1 axis and communicates through the DeviceNet protocol, so its CAN-based telegrams share a common physical layer with sensors and drives. Shaft feedback is processed at 8,192 pulses per rotation, enabling fine interpolation for small incremental moves. When large acceleration profiles are required, the current output can supply up to 15 A, which is suitable for many low- to mid-frame servomotors. The network supports up to 63 units on one segment, while the master must reserve a minimum I/O map of 8 points. A branch line may extend 6 m from the main trunk without causing timing faults. Each slave exposes its assigned I/O data to the network scanner for coordinated control and status monitoring.
Total network cable length can reach 500 m at a transmission rate of 125 kbps, while the combined spur sub-branches may use up to 156 m of that cable budget. Distributed modules can present no more than 512 points of slave I/O, while the controller can assert up to 700 points of in-position status for supervisory logging. Additional motion tables provide 700 BCD indexing entries, 60 matrix coordinates, and 16 single-shot points for rapid job recall. The programmable detection-window range is Shift/Rev × 1,024 counts, allowing the system to verify approach accuracy before it activates an output. For final sequencing, the controller provides 16 programmable position outputs. These outputs can actuate clamps, ejectors, or measurement gates at the encoder count associated with the required part position.
